Transfer iMovie files to a different user or computer

Hello,
I have a lot of video footage edited, and organized in iMovie 8. I want to move this to a different user, or move the footage so that its run on an external drive. So that all users can use the data, as well as move to other machines....
Please assist

Drag the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain item to /Users/Shared/, log in from the other computer, and copy it to that account's iWeb folder.

You want to share the Library?
For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

Sharing iMove Projects Libraries with different users on the same machine

I was wonder how two different users on the same machine can
share project libraries. Some Context:
My daughter has some finished projects in her project library and
I either want to import those project into my library or share them
so both user accounts can access the projects (similar to how the
event library is accessible)
Note: I've already moving the project library to a shared disk (the one
the event library is on) with no luck

You need to move each project to the external drive from within iMovie. Be sure to use command-drag so you move, not copy.

Help using file sharing with different users accounts on same Macbook

Hi, I just wanted a little help using the file sharing option. My wife and I had different users accounts on the same MacBook, but when I am trying to share my baby's picture from my documents folder for my wife to have the same picture, I can't find the way to do that; I am not been able to find my pictures on my wife's account. Is there any way that I could share a folder from my account and my wife to have the same files at the same time on her account?
I mean, something like the smart play list on the itunes?
Thank you

You can't do that directly unless you change permissions on your whole Documents folder which is not a good idea. Your wife can see your Documents folder from her account by going to Users/yourusername/Documents. However, this folder has no read privileges for others except yourself by default so she won't be able to open it.
rather than changing permissions on your Documents folder, you can place the pictures you want to share in Public folder in your home directory or in Users/Shared folder.

Photoshop creates wonky file permissions after different user modifies file and saves over

We have a fileserver sharing out files to Windows clients using samba service on Mac OSX Server 10.6.5.
We have weird permissions issue with psd files in Photoshop CS5 64 bit.
A user (userx) belonging to the group wheel creates a file called version1.psd
POSIX
ACL
user Read & Write
wheel Read & Write
others Read & Write
A different user (usery) opens version1.psd, makes some modifications and save it out as version2.psd
POSIX
ACL
usery Read & Write
wheel Read & Write
others Read & Write
Now userx opens version2.psd and makes modification and saves the current file. Userx can nol onger access the file he just saved.
POSIX
usery Custom
ACL
userx No Access
wheel Read & Write
others Read & Write
This led me to test modifying original file (version1.psd) and save. It does the same thing.
Don't understand why it has this behaviour. Is this some kind of bug with photoshop as when we do modifications outside of Photoshop, permissions are always fine? Thanks ahead for any help.

We have solved our issue.
After running Adobe updates on machine that uses CS6 and then re-starting that machine, our issue seems to have disappeared.
Hope this helps others.
Best of luck.

Transfer iMovie files from a Configured Device?

How can I transfer iMovie porjects from a configured ipad to iTunes or other place on a MacBook?

With Supervised devices you are restricted to uploading video files to the supervising Mac.
You can use dropbox on any iPad. Not the best, since movies are large.
A simple and popular way to copy files.

I guess you could transfer overnight.

Running File Explorer as Different User

Hi all.
I work in a domain environment where we log in with standard accounts for day-to-day work and use separate elevated accounts only when needed, and only to run applications that require elevation. This works fine for most things in 8.1, but once again,
Microsoft has disabled the ability to run File Explorer with different credentials. To me, this is insecure and counterproductive. They tell us we should never be logged on with administrative rights, and I agree with that, but this restriction
is the one thing that makes this impossible. In 7, I could get around this by running Explorer cmd or PowerShell using elevated (domain) credentials, but now this won't even work! I get not one but two errors stating that I have insufficient permission
to do this. Is there any workable solution for this, or has Microsoft finally succeeded in forcing us to add our staff accounts back into domain groups or logging in with elevated rights just so we can manage permissions?
Thanks.
A very frustrated server admin

Hi,
Have you tried to use the runas command, as mentioned in the link below?
runas /user:domain\username "c:\windows\explorer.exe /separate"

Sharing Photos: Different Users, Same Computer

So far, I've tried some suggestions found in other postings, but I still can't share some photo libraries between different users on the same computer. I started an account for my son. Sharing was enabled in both iPhoto Apps. I've tried locating the libraries in a Shared folder and putting them in a folder not associated with a user. Opening a port 8770 in the Sharing/Firewall window didn't change anything either. No matter what, when I open my son's iPhoto and try to Add To Library, some libraries will import and others have a circle with a red line next to them. Those will not import and I can't figure out what the difference is between them. Any thoughts?

Hi chris,
these are the links I have for sharing. You might want to try the ACL way.
SHARING IPHOTO LIBRARIES
Sharing libraries between users on the same local network
You can also share a library on the same machine between users the same way.
Sharing libraries between users on the same machine...
-both users must have sharing enabled in their iPhoto Preferences
-both users must be logged in and have iPhoto running
-Remember that you can only view the other library. You can't edit the photos or play the saved slideshows or view the made books or burn them to CD or DVD. The books and slideshows will show up as an album. You can play that album as an "on the fly" slideshow. You can drag images from the sharing library to your library in the source column to import them to your library. You can then edit, add to albums, books, slideshow, etc.

SHARING ONE IPHOTO LIBRARY BETWEEN USERS ON SAME MACHINE
You can try one of these three methods:
1- Use iPhoto Library Manager-the paid version
The documentation page will give instructions on how it is done.
2- Sharing one iPhoto library between several users on one machine
3- Share an iPhoto Library in tiger Using ACL's
4- I have also read about ShareAlike
There is no other info on the site about how it works.
I strongly urge anyone wanting to try any of the methods for sharing one iPhoto Library folder among more than one user to backup all iPhoto Library folders before attemptin anything.

Can you move files between two different user accounts in Time Capsule?

I copied a bunch of stuff from my old NAS (which used FAT) to Time Capsule under one user account... I then reformatted the NAS to HFS+ so I could just use it as a USB drive connected to the TC. Now I realized that I want to have one of those folders in another user directory. I cannot open two different sessions of the TC on the computer...at least I have not figured out how to do this. Is there a way to accomplish this without copying the folder to my computer, then copying it back to the other user directory? It is several gigs.

you can crop files from one account to another using the Public Dropbox which every user account has. Log into the user that has the files you want to move, then drag the folder you want to the new users' dropbox:
I suggest a small scale test on a few files first before moving gigabytes of files.

How to limit file access for different users in 10.7.4 Server

We had everything working perfectly with an earlier version of Lion Server. The update to 10.7.3, or 4, seems to have opened access to all files for all users. Much to our surprise, this wide-open access started without warning.
- We have an external drive that contains all of the company's archives
- We had set access for one employee to get to the files he needs, and different access for another employee. Neither saw sharepoints outside of their access settings.
After an update, each employee can see and log in to all sharepoints. There doesn't seem to be a way to limit access for each employee now. I can set 'read' access for one employee, but it doesn't stop the other employee from accessing that sharepoint/folder.
Is there some new way to go about this? Or is something simply broken with the current release?

That is good to know. If the file share is seeing the drive and ignoring its permissions, that is why everyone can see everything. I have found, in Lion Server, that it is best to get the permissions set before turning on File Sharing. I don't know if you have the luxury of turning the file share off for a little while, but I would unshare the drive and see if the issue persists if you plug the external drive into another machine. The settings for permissions are set on the file or folder itself, so the issue should follow you to the other machine.
Again, if you can, I would unshare the drive and reshare it with the permissions that you want and turn file sharing back on. However, if you can get the drive to respect permissions rather than ignoring them, I think it will save you a lot of work.

Transfer imovie files to Seagate

Whenever I attempt to transfer video from an eMac 10.3.9 and imovie 3.0.3, drag and drop, to a Seagate Central 1T, file kind "Unix Executable File" is created which returns the following when I attempt to view the file;
"Last login: Sun Dec 29 09:19:25 on ttys000
XXXXXXVolumes/Public/Videos/: cannot execute binary file
logout
[Process completed]"
The "clips" I'm trying to transfer are all "imovie documents" and I've tried exporting using the iMovie timeline choosing Quicktime movie but it didn't capture sound correctly. Any guidance would be huge as I have a ton of vidoes on this old computer and don't know how the heck to consolidate all my files onto the Seagate.
I don't want to backup my entire computer, just photos and videos.
Ugh

Opening the same file in by different users

As a newbie to InDesign I got a workflow question.
Working with a team of 6 designers, we would like all to work in the same InDesign document. We need to create a big salebooks book, therefore it is necessary to open the same file in different copy of indesign?
Currently we are working with CS5 and when I have a indd file open, none of my coworkers are able to open the file except for a copy. I understand that really working together on the same file is something you could do. But can’t be like in MS-Office? The moment you open a indd file which is already opened by a other user, you will get a message and you can then either to open as read only or a notification when the other user is ready editing the file
Is this possible? Or do we need some additional tools?

I would actually be surprised if there are no workflow management plugins that do this.
As you imply, it's really not that hard to do.
Making it look really slick would probably require a plugin.
But you could do it fairly easily with some simple scripting, a few hours of work.
One script that runs whenever anyone opens or closes a file and registers that open/closure with a server.
Plus some extra stuff to deal with messaging.

I want to transfer a file from a guest user to my owner's user files

I have asked this question a few times today and obviously I have not made my predicament clear.
A guest will record in Microwave-Lite in the Guest account.
I will want to transfer that recording to my owner's account files.
If I am in Guest, how can I get the file into my Owner's files without losing the recording.
One thing I don't understand is how can I do something in Owner when I am in Guest.
Any help will be appreciated. I will need specific instructions for as you can see I have
a lot to learn.
Thanks

Did you try
